Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm as out of touch with makeup prices as a politician is with groceries, so I didn't flinch at the $60; but it did make me feel like it's got to be way more expensive just to exist within our culture's expectations if you are a woman.
Don’t forget the time cost. In high school, I really resented having to get up ~30 minutes early at minimum to put on the shit. Then you have to wash it all of your face before you go to sleep.
Then there’s shaving. I just didn’t own shorts until after I transitioned, because I hated that shit but having any kind of leg hair will get commented on negatively.
Now I can roll out of bed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and maybe trim up my beard and look okay enough to not get shit on.
The brand name alone says so much about that.
That's why I use Bussy Cosmetics
Yes. Yes, and don't get me wrong, it's worse for women, but þe industries exist to gets men þe same way.
E.g., you want a hot partner, you need a sexy car and $300 trainers.
Ahh thats ok, ill take the boring one :) hope you like my corolla and $39 no brand shoes.
